There are several other developments and openings in various stages of the pipeline along this corridor--such as 1124 9th (being redeveloped as a ground floor retail condo with several residential condos above), Nima's restaurant (in the 1200 block, construction underway), and the building next to Nima's that's nearing completion on a major renovation into commercial spce--for which I have no information re: delivery dates but that are pushing forward. Accordingly, this stretch is set to see a dramatic transformation in the next 5 year period.

I had asked A. Padro a ways back about what the commercial space was to be just south of Nima's. He said it's going to be an architecture firm's office. This was the building that had the big blue tarp up for a while on the front.

Shaw Rez, I live at the Whitman and just noticed some new fencing up around what used to be a parking lot for the Mt. Vernon Square Apartments (between Whitman and west to 10th Street). Any idea of the reason for this? The fences just went up today. Thanks in advance for any insight!

It looks like another Whitman RULE BREAKER has found his way onto a local blog, and is continuing a campaign of smears against the Whitman blogger, and all the decent people who live at the Whitman who support the Whitman Watcher's efforts to combat smoking on the roof, illegal parking and disruptive construction.

Who are you, the driver of the black Cadillac? The smoking lifeguard? Or the female Asian smoker, in disguise?

As a resident of the Whitman, I feel I have to stick up for the "rest of us." To be blunt, we think the Whitman blogger is ignorant. I refuse to read his/her blog as it is inflammatory, insensitive, and uninformed. I know I speak for many (if not all) Whitman residents when I say that we care about our neighborhood and want to see it grow. I hope that one bad blogger won't ruin the neighborhood's opinion of the whole building.

Aw c'mon! between the name calling, paranoia, racism, imaginary friends and the multiple personality disorder, Whitman Watcher is the most entertaining blog in the neighborhood! Someone send her a carton of smokes!
